Structured programming says you should only ever have one return statement per function. This is to limit the complexity. Many people such as Martin Fowler argue that it is simpler to write functions with multiple return statements. He presents this argument in the classic refactoring book he wrote. This works well if you follow his other advice and write small functions. I agree with this point of view and only strict structured programming purists adhere to single return statements per function.

一般来说，我尝试从一个函数中只有一个出口点。然而，有时这样做实际上会创建一个比必要的更复杂的函数体，在这种情况下，最好有多个出口点。它确实需要基于结果的复杂性进行“判断”，但目标应该是在不牺牲复杂性和可理解性的情况下尽可能减少出口点。

函数中return语句越多，该方法的复杂性就越高。如果您发现自己想知道是否有太多的return语句，那么您可能需要问问自己，该函数中是否有太多的代码行。

但是，不是，一个/多个返回语句并没有错。在某些语言中，这是一种比其他语言(C)更好的实践(c++)。

I always avoid multiple return statements. Even in small functions. Small functions can become larger, and tracking the multiple return paths makes it harder (to my small mind) to keep track of what is going on. A single return also makes debugging easier. I've seen people post that the only alternative to multiple return statements is a messy arrow of nested IF statements 10 levels deep. While I certain agree that such coding does occur, it isn't the only option. I wouldn't make the choice between a multiple return statements and a nest of IFs, I'd refactor it so you'd eliminate both. And that is how I code. The following code eliminates both issues and, in my mind, is very easy to read:

public string GetResult()
{
    string rv = null;
    bool okay = false;

    okay = PerformTest(1);

    if (okay)
    {
        okay = PerformTest(2);
    }

    if (okay)
    {
        okay = PerformTest(3);
    }

    if (okay)
    {
        okay = PerformTest(4);
    };

    if (okay)
    {
        okay = PerformTest(5);
    }

    if (okay)
    {
        rv = "All Tests Passed";
    }

    return rv;
}

如果可以只写下一个观点，那就是我的观点:

我完全不同意“单返回语句理论”，认为它在代码可读性、逻辑和描述方面都是推测性的，甚至是破坏性的。

使用一次-一次返回的习惯对于纯过程式编程来说都很糟糕，更不用说更高级的抽象(函数式、组合式等)了。此外，我希望所有以这种风格编写的代码都经过一些特殊的重写解析器，使其具有多个返回语句!

一个函数(如果它真的是一个函数/查询，根据“查询-命令分离”注意-见埃菲尔编程语言。例如)必须定义与控制流场景一样多的返回点。它在数学上更加清晰和一致;它是编写函数(即查询)的方法。

但对于你的特工收到的突变信息——程序调用，我不会那么激进。

拥有多个出口点本质上与使用GOTO是一样的。这是不是件坏事取决于你对迅猛龙的看法。
